If you are still interested in joining a staff please go to that team's FFMD War Room and let the GM know, or PM the GM. He will fit you into any remaining open positions, if they are all full you can still be a scout.

For a list of of approved trades and to see which players each team has on the trading block click here.

During the last FFMD several teams posted pictures of the player they picked, and this is fine (and even encouraged) but I ask that you keep the pictures to a reasonable size. Lots of large graphics slow the load time for this thread tremendously especially for the members that have dial up.

A quick reminder that player/pick trades during the draft need to be PMed to JCool333 or GRRLacher at least 24 hours before the draft pick involved in the trade is slated to be made. This is the only way we will have enough time to get them looked at by the trade council. Draft day trades that are pick(s) for pick(s) do not require 24hrs, they can be approved by JCool333 or GRRLacher on the spot since they are simple calculations using the DVB. The more time you give us the better though since we aren't on 24/7 (although it does seem like we are at times ;) )

In addition to the graphics please feel free to add a paragraph about the player you chose, and how he fits into your team if you would like.

As always, please feel free to PM JCool333 or GRRLacher if you have any questions or concerns.

Why?
Reggie adds another weapon to the offense, and is a once in a lifetime player. He played his butt off in college, and we look to see the same here in the pros. Congrats to Reggie, and ourselves! Saints up._________________

This pick is a no brainer. OT is our biggest need, and D'Brickashaw Ferguson is an elite prospect at the OT position. After the top three went as it did, we knew from the second we were on the clock that D'Brick was going to be our pick. He'll be a perennial pro bowler for us for many years._________________

Why?: No doubt he was the best player available for the Green Bay Packers, he brings a pass rush to our defensive line that we didn't really have last year. We were #1 against the pass and feel that adding a monster end will help us get even better and force more turnovers. We really didn't think he would be available for this pick but when he was it was the easiest choice we've ever made. Mario Williams should take a starting spot right away and become a canidate for rookie of the year, we are happy to have him aboard as a Green Bay Packer and are looking forward to finnishing out the first day strong._________________

With the 7th pick in the 2006 NFL draft, the Oakland Raiders select...

I think with this pick, we get what we haven't had since Rich Gannon left. A leader with the ability to move around and escape the pocket. Leadership and athleticism second to none. The uncany ability to win the big one. I feel as though he is the best player available, and will learn well behind Aaron Brooks to become the new leader of the Raider Nation_________________

With the 9th Overall selection in the 2006 NFL Draft... The Detroit Lions select.

OLB, Ernie Sims out Florida St.

-Sims may not have been the BPA, but he fills a big need - and he's really not that far off from BPA. He's a great athlete, a leader and is very quick. A perfect fit for the Cover 2, we believe he'll excell in our defense and hopefully have him play in the Inside._________________

With the 11th overall selection in the 2006 NFL Draft the New Orleans Saints select...

Brodrick Bunkley, DT, Florida State

Reason: Defensive tackle is a major need for the New Orleans Saints. Bunkley is a stong interior lineman. He may be better suited for the one-gap scheme but he has the frame to add weight and be a force in the two gap. Either way, Bunkley is an upgrade at the defensive tackle position.

We love Antonio's potential and passion. We are excited to have him and he will be used in a variety of ways to improve our already stout defense. We see yet another probowl first round selection for the Baltimore Ravens.

Our staff(mainly coachraf) has been working the whole day to try to get a deal for DeAngelo. Now 10 hours later, we finally get our guy.

I think coachraf says it best.

There's nothing Williams can't do. I mentioned Tomlinson earlier, and to be honest, I see a lot of LT in Williams. This kid has thrown Memphis on his back, and just carries them year after year. Whether or not this team needs one yard, straight up the gut on 3rd and short, or a big catch, to take it down field, he's there. He's relentless around the end zone, and plays with explosion and power. He's a prototypical NFL feature back. He can handle the work of 25+ touches per game, make plays as a receiver, and can do enough to never need to come off the field.

Going into the draft we made it a point to get either our franchise QB or RB for the future, and DeAngelo Williams was a no brainer, even with Cutler on the board._________________
